The captions for different projects can be more intelligent by tunning MediaWiki:search-interwiki-custom. For instance, for enwiki it could be (format is interwiki:caption per line): wikt:Wiktionary word definitions n:Wikinews news results
Great thing, and works great! :D I have several question though.
1) How to turn it on? It works on enwiki, but doesn't seem to work on srwiki (f.e. try searching for итацизам that exists in srwiktionary). Doesn't seem to work on enwiktionary even...
2) Could it also display sister project results if only a few matches exist in current project?
3) Could it include sister projects in other languages, of course if all language projects agree? Obvious application of this are b/h/sh/s wikis, but also recently announced Egyptian and classical Arabic, and similar cases.
